re Sewage Surveillance Might Be a Powerful Tool to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance, New Study Reveals By www.gadgets360.com Published On :: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 16:05:24 +0530 Sewage surveillance is emerging as a crucial method in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to new research from Virginia Tech. Published in Nature Water, the study demonstrates that monitoring wastewater provides a more efficient and comprehensive approach to tracking antibiotic-resistant bacteria than testing individuals. This method holds particular promise for underserved communities, where access to healthcare is limited, and AMR-related diseases are most prevalent. The research team, led by experts such as Dr. Leigh-Anne Krometis and Dr. Marc Edwards, explored sewage samples from 62 countries and found significant correlations between AMR levels and socioeconomic factors, such as healthcare accessibility. By examining wastewater, public health officials could gain early insights into AMR spread, allowing them to take targeted actions to protect vulnerable populations. This approach could revolutionise AMR monitoring, particularly in rural and low-income areas, where AMR poses a growing threat. Full Article
